Mark Antony on the Sophomores do fin - T 9 RIENDS, students and classmates, lend me your ears: V T come to roast the Sophomores, not to praise them. The evil that they do lives after themg E i The good they ever did was while at home Tied unto their mothers' apron strings. They tell us that they are ambitious. Let them tell us! It is a grievous lie: For speedily the days have passed them byQ And for the time they nothing have to show. Wforthy of such an honorable class. The annals note the deeds that they have done, And I selected was to tell them all. They are class, conceited, bold, and free. And know not when nor where to play their pranks. For fame in wily tricksithey are ambitious, And all do say,- Wie are an honorable class. They have brought many troubles home to themselves, Vlfhich money took to get them clear and free: Is this what they do call ambition? Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. You all did hear how, on one Autumn night They stole in silence to the Ladies' Hall, And pasted on the walls their master pieces! They used a ladder as the poets tell, ' fAnd sure it was the fire escapej. By which to attain the heights of their ambition. But here T am to tell what all do know,- The Burgess caught them then and they did fight: Wfhich Fight brought more trouble than they desired. Oh judgment, thou camest heavy on them then, But they must conquer rashness-Bear with them: They only learn by dire experience. And they 'at most are only children still. Have patience, Sophomores, for I am almost done: Yet it is meet that you should know it all. You are not wood nor stones, but human beings, And as such, hearing this may improve you. It should incite you to do nobler thingsg For now you see yourselves as Others see you. And know wherein you all have failed. 37 H. M

Freshmen - of green and white, not knowing one recitation room from another, QQ N the fall of 1904 we entered the old college building under the colors 10 b but by the kindness of some higher classmen we were led to the chapel. After the customary devotions the next day's lessons were announced, and five of them were in the freshman schedule. But supposing that the Fac- ulty had assigned this double work as a compliment to our ability, we settled down uncomplainingly to the grind. On returning to school the next morning what was our surprise to find the sidewalks artistically decorated with the numerals 'O8. ' VVhen our class was organized we found that we were just about one-half the number of our would-be instructors-the Sophomores --gg so we decided that what we could not do with our physical powers, had to be done by our mental ability. Believing that discretion is the better part of valor, we de- cided not to raise a Hag. But oh! the fun we had with their posters! VVhat must have been the chagrin of the Sophomores to find, after a night of toil and turmoil, that the morning sun shown on not a single poster. Even the girls of their class would never have known what their seal fyO7D was being attached to had not a few of the posters circulated from hand to hand. Wfe have heard it intimated, too, that these little play papers were rather expensive to our rivals, and that a few objected to paying the price. The annual two-mile relay race was held on October 14, 1904. 'VVe knew, before our team started to train, what the result would be. But we at least showed that we know how to take defeat when it comes rightly, and we are not at all ashamed of the record that we made on that eventful day. Wfe cannot boast of our numbers. Gur class may look small in chapel, but the vacant chairs of our class rooms are always filled by irregular Sophomores. Gur class is yet in its youth, but in the future we will show to our college friends that we have not forgotten their parting advise-'lRemember the Day of Small Thingsf' 'o8 HISTORIAN. 325
